I have been on a finishing streak the past few days- I was able to get Knock Knock finished and I gave it as a gift to my sis in law who had been admiring it every time she saw me work on it. This is my eldest niece, posing with the finished piece

Today I finished something I stitched last year- a Christmas Sock monkey from a JCS ornament issue. Just a simple finish but I like it

I thought my sewing machine was broke- hubby fixed it though, so YAY. I have a few other things I want to finish- Most notably a pillow.

I also as I hinted at in my last post- I finished another WIPocalypse piece as well as a Crazy January Challenge piece-

Coffee Crazy- Lizzy Kate. This was such a fun, simple piece. I really enjoyed it. I did change the color in the mug to the blue that you see.

Also yesterday was my birthday- Here is a picture of the stash I got from the birthday club I am in-

I also have some Gift certificates from 123stitch, and some gifts still on the way

I finished Knock Knock today. It was a spur of the moment start last halloween. It was a very easy stitch, all black. I used memory thread for the first time. It was easy enough to use. It would have been easier I think- had I been outlining something. Still I will use it again and would recommend it.

I stitched this on 28 ct. Hand dyed evenweave. I *think* it may have originally been a funky yellow color, but I am not positive.

I included a photo of the piece with the intended finishing fabric and ribbon as well. I plan to make it into a no sew wall hanging. I hope to get that done this week.

I was going to stitch it for myself, but I had it somewhere stitching it and someone really admired it, so I am going to surprise her with it.

I stitched on a halloween small last week. I know, I know it was supposed to be a Mistress week, but halloween is coming, so……………….

This is from the Halloween book from JCS. It’s Knock Knock by blackberry Lane Designs.

I stitched this on some unknown piece of fabric that I dyed myself. It was to be stitched over one on 40 ct. But I am stitching over 2 on whatever that is, i’m guessing 28ct.

I got an exchange in the mail Saturday, a chart exchange. I just love what I got, both charts I love and have wanted for awhile.

I can’t seem to get the photo to turn, sorry everyone. You’ll have to turn your head or your computer.

So next week I am stitching on JG again. I hope will get this corner ornament finished!

Few weeks back I finished a pirate monkey from this years JCS halloween ornament issue. Last week I finished it. I made it into a cube. My first ever, it doesn’t look too bad, though I will do a few things different next time.
